Scarsdale Forum to Host Panel on Development in Scarsdale

The Scarsdale Forum invites the community to participate in a discussion of "managing development in Scarsdale" at its first Public Forum of the year at 7:30pm on Thursday, October 15, 2015, at the Scott Room of the Scarsdale Public Library, 50 Olmsted Rd. An informal opportunity to enjoy light refreshments and talk to Scarsdale Mayor Jonathan Mark will take place at 7:30pm. The program will commence promptly at 8pm.

What would you like to know about development in Scarsdale? Should the gravel driveway "loophole" remain open? [What is it, anyway?] What's the latest recommendation for trees on your property? Panel participants include Elizabeth Marrinan, Scarsdale Village Planner; Steven Rakoff, developer; Lewis Arlt, Brokerage Manager of the Scarsdale branch of Houlihan Lawrence, Inc.; Joanne Wallenstein, founder of Scarsdale10583; and Ron Schulhof, member of the Village of Scarsdale Conservation Advisory Council. Seth Ross, former Chair of the Planning Board, will moderate the discussion.

The Forum is also honoring past Editor-in-Chief of the Scarsdale Inquirer Linda Leavitt with its rarely bestowed Public Service Award. Mayor Mark will present the annual "State of the Village" report and entertain questions from the audience.

Don't miss this opportunity to honor Scarsdale's finest, learn more about village government, and hear diverse points of view on land use in our community. See www.scarsdaleforum.com for a listing of future events, membership information and SF committee reports on a variety of topics.
